Major League Soccer is giving out more than 300 prizes to soccer fans who shop at local businesses ahead of the 2024 MLS All-Star Game that will be hosted in Columbus on July 24

Participants can win All-Star Game tickets, merchandise, sponsor gift cards, and autographed memorabilia by earning points by scanning QR codes with their phones at participating businesses.  

The codes will take participants to mixed reality experiences including scratch tickets that can be exchanged for prizes. This is the first time the MLS has run the All-Star Rewards Program. 

It will run from Sunday through July 21 at over 40 businesses including restaurants, bars, bakeries, retail stores, salons and more. 

On the promotion’s last day, MLS will offer more opportunities to earn points at the All-Star Soccer Celebration, which will be held at McFerson Commons Park, located at 218 West St.
